IMPROVEMENT IN ATOMIZERS:

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 182,389,

' June 20, 1876.

. To all whom it may concern:

Be it known. that I, FRANK E. STANLEY,- of

' Auburn, in the county of Androscoggin and State of Maine, have invented a new and Improved Atomizer,-of which the following is a specification: r

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a vertical central section of my improved atomizer, and Figs. 2 and 3 are central sections of nozzles of different sizes tobe used with the atomizer for confining the spray;

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention relates to such improvements in atomizers that they may be employed for finishing -the inclined pointed tube connecting with the bulb of an atomizer. The tubes are applied to or connected by a suitable bracket or support, having a sleeve in which the vertical tube Aslides, being adjusted at greater or less distance from the stationary tube B by a setscrew, (J, that engages an outer thread of tube A. By moving the vertical tube up closer to the stationary tube the spray is made coarse, and by-moving the liquid-tube down the spray is made finer. I y i A wire, D, is placed, centrally into the liqaid-tube A, and extended, by its pointed end,

dated September 19, 1876; application filed into the conicallytapering point of the tube A. The lower part of the wire is bent and connected in suitable manner to a set-screw, D, at the lower part of the liquid-tube, so that the wire can be made to open orclose the issuing-orifice of ,the tube, and thereby the amount of liquid that flows through-the same is regulated.

The spray can thus be regulated as to quality and quantity in a convenient manner, by merely adjusting the tube and wire with the set-screws. A r y A cap or hood, E, is placed over the atomizing-tubes, and used with nozzles F, having orifices of different sizes, varying from onesixteenth of an inch to half an inch. The noz-. zles are used when the surface to be shaded is small.

By'the use of the nozzles the spray is confined upon a larger or smaller surface, while for larger surface-shading the atomizer is used without the cap.

The atomizer may be applied to a variety of shading purposes, producing beautiful effects, as, for instance, by the use of lampblack in alcohol, stipple engraving.

Having thus described m y invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. Thehood E, adapted to connect with atomizing-tubes A B and nozzle F, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

' 2. The combination of the liquid-tube with a central adjustable wire extending into the point of the tube, to regulate quantity of liquid thrown out, substantially as set forth.

FRANK E. STANLEY.
